History
It was built in 1805 as a permanent home for The Territorial Assembly, when the USQ was still part of the Republic of Megatridimensional Order as The Territories of Quentin. During the Territorial years, the building bore witness to many important laws and speeches, including the Rights of a Quentinian, laying out civil rights for citizens, The Order of Non-Necessity, limiting the number of MTO soldiers in a city, an extremely famous speech by Kindy Bost-Jameson in the Final Revolutionary Address, and finally The Quentinian Declaration of Independence.
After the writing of The Constitution of the United States of Quentin in 1834, the building was designated as the Capitol Building for the new country. The new Congress for the USQ moved in the following year, in 1835, with 2 separate halls being designated for use by the House of Bureaucrats and the House of Representatives. Quickly, however, it was realized that the building was much too small for the new country, with the original Congresspeople not having their own offices, and the halls being dysfunctional for a conjoined meeting between both houses. So, in 1839, Congress passed a new bill, called The Capital Refurbishment Bill, which approved for the renovation of the Capitol building, along with building The Supreme Council Building of the United States of Quentin. Construction began right away, and with James Toit heading it, it was finished with renovations by November of the following year, 1840.
Throughout the centuries, the building was continuously used as the Capitol, and a number of important laws and bills were passed there, along with all the Amendments to the Constitution. No opposing force ever was able to occupy the building or Mechanicsburg, and numerous Congresspeople have occupied the nearly 150 offices in the building. Also included in the Capitol is the two chambers, one for The House of Bureaucrats and one for The Quentinian House of Representatives, and The Unity Chamber, where both Houses convene for conjoined meetings. The building is kept up today by the Quentinian Department of Infrastructure, along with the Quentinian Department of Monuments.
